Enclave Cinema, from September 23 to 25
Enclave Land Art also presents the second edition of Enclave Cinema, a conference on cinema, identity and territory, which will be held the weekend of September 23-25, 2022 in La Vall de Gallinera.
Enclave Cinema was born on the basis of the growing use of the audiovisual medium as a transmitter of messages within the Enclave Land Art project, and offers invited festivals a platform for public exposure and visibility, in line with the projects worked on in La Vall de Gallinera.
Through the invitation to a different film festival in each edition, the City Council of La Vall de Gallinera and the Enclave Land Art association organize a series of screenings, colloquiums, round tables and presentations with the aim of generating participatory reflection.
The second edition of Enclave Cinema will include the participation of the Dona i Cinema – Mujer y Cine – Woman & Film International Biennial, a festival that celebrates its seventh edition in January 2023 and that gives visibility to the work of women in cinema and industry audiovisual.
The biennial was born as a speaker for the Women and Cinema association, created thanks to the efforts of professional women in the audiovisual sector in the city of Valencia, to show the best cinema made by women, together with a series of parallel activities to reflect on the role of women in the industry and promoting other looks not always represented on the big (and small) screen.
